Topic: VNC and VPN

[Grub]

Why forwarding when you will have all services (machines)  within a vpn connection???!!!

A good point about the VPN, but if you still need VNC advice, here it is.

If you are planning to use VNC for remote desktop support of these workstations, you don't need to port forward.

You can start the VNC viewer in Listen mode and give the user your IP address. The user starts the VNC server, right-clicks the icon, selects "Add new client", then enters your ip address. The viewer starts on your desktop. No port forwarding on the client side, and you don't need to remember their password.

Hi,
Regarding my port forward, I will upgrade my server to 5.6 and install the new port forward.rpm for that server. I hope that will make it possible to have more than one port forward at the time.

I still have some problems with the VPN connection.
I can connect to the E-smith server and see the other Pc on the network, from a pc on the Internet. But how do I get a file on one of Pc?
The Pc all has shared folders, but I can’t get in contact with them?

From one Pc on the Internet the connection goes very well, but from and other Pc it doesn’t work. I have a little theory, that the connection time is longer from this Pc and the server times out. Is it possible to set the “time out” time on the E-smith server? Or could there bee another reason to this problem?

Thanks a lot for the help so fare
